Tiny Black Hole

You are a tiny black hole living in a tiny world. You hate it. You hate being the
smallest one around. Everything around you must die so that you can become the largest
black hole in the world. Start your campaign of destruction, but make sure you pick
on the little guys who are much smaller than you. If you even get close to a square
that is larger than you, he'll ruin a bit of your consumed power.

Use the arrow keys to move around.
Press the space bar when on top of a small triangle to eat it.
Don't run into the moving squares.
Try to eat as many triangles as you can to grow huge.

Pretty fun. I don't know how I feel about the timer. I think if you took away the timer and added some levels along with some sort of size goal for each level then it would be more fun. That is just my opinion though. :) Besides that pretty good for your first LD!!

I had a lot of fun playing this! I sort of wondered what the white bar at the top was about until I saw "TIME'S UP" at the end, and proceeded to try four more times to not be a horrible black hole. I'm bad at being a black hole.

That said, I thought the timer was a fun challenge to work against. I didn't really notice, but does eating things give you more time? If not, I think that would be really fun. If so, I think they should give a bit more time.
